Review | Irmin Schmidt - Requiem by Zachsry Nathanson "Schmidt has ceated a brilliant, unpredictable landscape where ambient field recordings and stark piano architecture collide to reveal something profoundly haunting." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/irmi...
Interview | Necroskull from Witchsorrow Gavin Brown caught up with Necroskull to hear all about the new record and the return of Witchsorrow as well as discussing everything from Sabbath and riffs to doom and the occult in a very insightful interview. echoesanddust.com/2026/07/necr...
Review | Psycroptic - The Pulse Of Annihilation by Martyn Coppack "It certainly beats a lot of what masquerades as tech death these days, and provides all the requisite thrills and complexities." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/psyc...
Review | Paul Haslinger & Christian Wittman - Mallarmé by @zivljub1.bsky.social "With all of their background and musical experience and knowledge, they successfully turn their concept into music that is both complex and understandable at the same time." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/paul...

Review | Pentagram - High Voltage: Live at Spotsylvania '78 by Zachary Nathanson "Decades later, the power of this performance remains undiminished, proving that truly great heavy music never loses its impact." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/pent... @ridingeasyrecords.bsky.social
Review | TodoMal - Graveyards of Joy by Martyn Coppack "It may not stick strictly to the genre expectations, but contains enough to satisfy those who like their music very atmospheric." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/todo...
Review | Cinder Well - A Blooming Body by Diana Revell "Some artists regard light and dark as opposing forces to be reconciled. The better ones know they were never separate to begin with. Amelia Baker is one of the latter." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/cind...
Live Review | Billy Fuller at The Hug & Pint "It’s a celebration of mood, simplicity and versatility. . . No encore, no pandering, just three guys holding a room’s undivided attention and having fun while doing it." By David Bowes bit.ly/BeakyBill @rarelyunable.bsky.social @beakbristol.bsky.social
Review | A New Day: The Sia Trilogy in Photographs by Zachary Nathanson "Howard Rankin has documented a remarkable chapter in Solstice's history with sensitivity, warmth, and an obvious affection for both the musicians and their audience." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/a-ne...

Review | The Bug / Dis Fig - Ladybug 1 by @zivljub1.bsky.social "Like good painters and applying the techniques of minimal modern classical composers, the duo are able to make those seemingly minute changes in the main theme create a change that works." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/the-...
Review | Tom Penaguin - Tom Penaguin II by Zachary Nathanson "Tom doesn't simply recreate the Canterbury sound; he re-imagines it through his own creative lens, balancing technical brilliance with genuine heart and imagination." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/tom-...
Review | Stormkeep - The Nocturnes of Iswylm by Martyn Coppack "By fusing different elements together, Stormkeep have made themselves one of the more exciting black metal bands hailing from the US, leaning towards a much more European slant." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/stor...
Review | King Crimson - 2014 NYC by Zachary Nathanson "It's a concert experience that leaves you wanting to return immediately, discovering new details with every listen and wondering where King Crimson might have ventured next had the journey continued." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/king...
Review | Warning - Rituals of Shame by Martyn Coppack "There’s a gravity to it but not in the way which makes it pompous or overbearing. It just feels natural & maybe it’s that which makes it have such an impact each time you listen." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/warn... @relapserecords.bsky.social

Review | Fire in her Eyes - Look into the Sky by @zmnathanson.bsky.social "The craftsmanship is undeniable, the vision fully realised, and the Livingstone sisters make it clear: this journey is only beginning, and it’s one you’ll want to revisit again and again." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/fire...
Review | Lost in Kyiv - We're All Going To Be Fine by @westcountryboy78.bsky.social "There's something genuinely exciting about hearing Lost in Kyiv strike out for new pastures rather than settle into cookie-cutter post-rock." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/lost...
Review | Miroslav Vitouš, Michel Portal, Jack DeJohnette - Mountain Call by @zmnathanson.bsky.social "Part avant-garde, part free jazz, and part contemporary classical music, this is among the most ambitious projects in Miroslav Vitouš's distinguished career." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/miro...
Review | Mourir - Nous, Le Venin by Diana Revell "Mourir don’t overstay their welcome, but they call for a level of commitment albums in this vein rarely earn from me. This one did, snapping back and stinging exactly as much as I needed it to." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/mour...
Review | Izzy Oram Brown - What I Want by @zivljub1.bsky.social "It is one of those albums that unveils its subtleties with every new play, making Izzy Oram Brown rightly stand close to the top of the current singer-songwriter crowd." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/izzy...
Review | Cancer House - The Moth by Davis Hunter "Can music be beautiful if, instead of emotion, it offers the listener emptiness? At first glance, The Moth sounds like slowcore, but it does not quite behave according to the genre’s rules." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/canc...
Review | Shane Embury - Bridge to Resolution by @zmnathanson.bsky.social "This is not an easy listen, but it isn’t meant to be. It’s a stunning, ominous, and deeply personal debut, revealing a side of Shane Embury that has long existed beneath the surface." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/shan...
Review | Witchsorrow - The Devil And All His Works by Gavin Brown "Witchsorrow have turned a cult following into something bigger as the songs on The Devil And All His Works are monetised and perfectly executed examples of prime doom metal." echoesanddust.com/2026/07/witc...
Live Review | @agriculturemusic.bsky.social at Stereo, Glasgow "Excess and minimalism, violence and restraint, chaos and bliss – Agriculture are all these things, and they’re a bloody great time to boot." By David Bowes. 📷 @bcfudlip.bsky.social bit.ly/AgriGow @rarelyunable.bsky.social
Interview | Filmore! Irish musician Filmore!’s new single, ‘EVERYTHING IS BRAINROTT’, couldn’t be more pertinent to the now, even with its video’s PS2 style graphics. Elise Price spoke to him about the project, incels, the Irish independent music scene, and fanfiction. bit.ly/Brainrott
Review | Sari Lightman - The Way I Saw You by @zivljub1.bsky.social "It all gives her music that specific, individual touch needed to make her music work and ultimately be a drawing factor for listeners." echoesanddust.com/2026/06/sari...
